Grief, Gratitude, and Remembering True Nature After My Father's PassingHost Rahul N Singh returns to The Bearded Mystic Podcast after a break and shares that his father died last month, reflecting on grief, regrets, and learning to face loss directly without denying emotions or spiraling in them. He describes finding steadiness through prayer, simran, and witnessing feelings, emphasizing that memories remain and that his father was a major influence on his spirituality. Rahul expresses gratitude for being present in his father's final moments and for support from community, family, friends, and his wife, noting the importance of staying connected rather than withdrawing from spirituality. He highlights non-dual teachings about abiding as pure consciousness, remembering one's true nature, and viewing death through the lens of oneness, including references to Nij Gar and the Bhagavad Gita.Send us Fan MailSupport the showSupport me via Paypal: https://www.paypal.biz/beardedmysticJoin our Discord Server: https://discord.gg/hnRf7wESwXVisit my website: https://www.thebeardedmysticpodcast.com/Want a one-on-one spiritual discussion with The Bearded Mystic - book here: https://www.thebeardedmysticpodcast.com/p/spiritual-discussion/You can follow me and contact me on social media:TikTok: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMdk3HPJh/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thebeardedmysticpodcast/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/TheBeardedMysticPodcast/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/The-Bearded-Mystic-PodcastBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/beardedmystic.bsky.socialBecome a Patron: https://www.patreon.com/thebeardedmysticpodcast

Have you ever noticed that when humans try to talk about God, awakening, truth, or the divine we almost never explain it directly? Instead, we tell stories. We say life is a battlefield. God is a shepherd. The soul is a river returning to the sea. The self is two birds sitting in the same tree. Across cultures, centuries, and spiritual traditions, mystics don't simply define the divine, they paint it. In this episode, I take you on a kind of devotional poetry slam through sacred metaphor. We'll explore passages from the Bhagavad Gita, the Upanishads, the Psalms, and yogic philosophy to see how spiritual traditions use image, story, and symbol to help us feel our relationship with the divine. Because metaphor doesn't just help the mind understand. It gives the nervous system somewhere to rest. We'll explore:

Have you done all the work and still feel empty? Are you stuck in endless self-improvement with nothing to show for it? What if you’ve been asking the wrong question all along? In this episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi breaks down the crucial difference between self-development and self-mastery, and why chasing growth without inner depth can leave you feeling perpetually broken. Drawing on ancient wisdom from the Bhagavad Gita, this episode shifts the conversation from “how do I improve myself?” to “who is the self I’m actually trying to improve?” Rather than giving you another checklist, Radhi explores how true fulfillment comes from transforming your relationship with yourself, not just your behavior. From ego awareness to emotional regulation to desire management, this episode gives you the inner framework to stop being controlled by your reactions, impulses, and need for validation. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why self-development alone can trap you in a cycle of feeling perpetually unfulfilled. What self-mastery actually means and how it differs from discipline or willpower. How to observe your emotions without being run by them. Why detachment doesn’t mean not caring, and how to release outcomes without giving up. Four daily practices to start moving from self-development into self-mastery. Growth isn’t just about what you build. It’s about who’s doing the building.

Mired, as I am, in Western linear modes of thinking, I have a difficult time grasping the circular time concepts comprising the Vedic texts and the Bhagavad Gita, especially the lifetime conjecture scope in the opening quote. I was indoctrinated with the belief the human scope consists of a single lifetime, where the Gita outlines multiple lives dictated by reincarnation cycles bent by Karma Yoga, driving the rebirth cycle. In Western ethics, the goal is moral order and autonomy for our one and only life. In the Gita, the goal is moksha, liberation from Samsara, the cycle of rebirth. It emphasizes...

Trechos do livro " The Sermon on the Mount According to Vedanta”, de Swami Prabhavananda.Swami Prabhavananda (1893 - 1976) foi um renomado monge hindu da Ordem Ramakrishna e discípulo direto de Swami Brahmananda.Nascido na Índia, Prabhavananda ingressou na vida monástica ainda jovem, dedicando-se à prática espiritual e ao estudo do Vedanta. Em 1923, foi enviado aos Estados Unidos, onde fundou a Vedanta Society of Southern California. Conhecido por sua colaboração com traduções e comentários de textos sagrados como a Bhagavad Gita e os Upanishads, Prabhavananda tornou-se uma figura central na disseminação do Vedanta no Ocidente.Seus ensinamentos baseavam-se na filosofia védica, enfatizando a unidade de todas as religiões e a realização do divino interior. Prabhavananda ensinava a importância da meditação, da devoção e do autoconhecimento, guiando seus discípulos a integrar a espiritualidade na vida cotidiana. Prabhavananda também abordava os ensinamentos de Jesus Cristo sob a perspectiva do Vedanta, interpretando suas palavras como expressões de verdades universais sobre a natureza divina e a união com Deus. De modo geral, Swami Prabhavananda teve papel essencial na introdução do pensamento vedântico no Ocidente. Sua abordagem clara e acessível influenciou gerações de buscadores espirituais, contribuindo para o diálogo entre culturas e tradições religiosas, e consolidando o Vedanta como uma via relevante no mundo moderno.

Right now, as you read this, your heart is beating roughly 70 times a minute.You're not doing it.Your lungs are pulling in air, your cells are dividing, and a planet weighing six septillion kilograms is hurtling through space at 67,000 miles per hour.And you?You're likely worried about the future and…. The Big PictureHere's the truth in its simplest form. You do not know what you actually need to do, and you do not know what will happen entirely by itself.The ancient wisdom traditions, drawing from texts like the Bhagavad Gita and the Tao Te Ching, point to something so obvious we've spent our entire lives missing it.We've confused ourselves into believing we're the doer of things that have been doing themselves since before we were born. That single misunderstanding is the source of nearly all the exhaustion and anxiety you carry every day.Why This MattersRecent studies report stress levels at record highs, with over 75% of adults reporting physical symptoms from chronic worry.Yet the universe has been running flawlessly for 13.8 billion years without your supervision. Your body performs trillions of operations every second without consulting you.So why are we so tired? Because we got recruited into a story that said everything depends on us.The Three States of BeingMost of us bounce between two states: doing and not doing. Gripping or pushing away. Chasing or avoiding.But there's a third option, and the masters called it surrender.It's the state where breath flows on its own. Where the heart beats. Where life unfolds. And your consciousness, instead of being consumed by maintenance, gets liberated to be actually alive. The Proof Is in Your BodyRun this thought experiment. Imagine you were born into a society where, generations ago, people were taught they had to consciously breathe to survive.From birth, your parents would drill it in. “Don't forget to breathe. Pay attention.”Half your daily consciousness would be tied up just staying alive. Conversations would be impossible. Creativity would vanish.Now imagine someone says, “You don't have to do that. It happens by itself.” You wouldn't believe them. Every experience confirms breathing requires effort.Yet the moment you stopped trying, the breath would keep flowing.You already live this reality with your heartbeat, your digestion, your cell division. You've simply forgotten the same principle might apply to everything else. How to Actually Live ThisStart with what you grip the tightest. Your relationship. Your career. Your reputation.Ask honestly, “Am I being Atlas right now? Am I crouched under the weight of something the universe is already carrying?”Then gently, just for a moment, duck your shoulders.Surrender isn't quitting. Surrender is doing without being the doer. It's showing up fully to what's in front of you while releasing your grip on the outcome.When anxiety rises, pause and notice your breath. Notice it's been flowing all day without your help. That single observation can break the spell. Addressing the Skeptics“If I don't take action, nothing will happen.”Surrender isn't passivity. Water flows downhill, but water still flows. The point isn't to stop acting. The point is to stop forcing.“What about people who hustled to the top?”Ask any accomplished person about pivotal moments, and they'll describe something that happened to them. Right place, right time, the right person walking through the door. They participated. They didn't author the outcome.“This sounds like magical thinking.”It's the opposite. Magical thinking says, “If I want it badly enough, the universe will deliver.” Surrender says, “The universe is already delivering exactly what's meant to unfold.” Real-World ApplicationIn your career, do excellent work without attaching to every recognition.In relationships, love people without needing them to be a certain way. When your partner is in a mood, let it pass like weather through a sky.In your finances, make wise decisions without white-knuckling every dollar.In the bigger questions, trust that the same intelligence running your heart can probably handle the next chapter. The Hidden LayerHere's what fewer people realize. True surrender is functionally invisible.You cannot prove to anyone that you're not the doer. When your life unfolds beautifully, observers will insist you did it. They'll credit your strategy and hustle. And you'll smile, because you'll know the truth.It was never you. The Lingering ThoughtRight now, as you finish reading these words, your breath is still flowing. Your heart is still beating. The Earth is still turning.And somewhere, quietly, beneath all your striving and worrying and planning, something far wiser than your mind has been running the show this entire time.It always has been.The only question is whether you'll finally let it.---Get to the level of resolve in minutes, not months.

How can we reconcile the miracles of different, seemingly contradictory religions? If they all claim to be the only truth, who is lying? For the atheist, if every religion claims exclusive miracles that contradict each other, the most logical conclusion is that they are all making it up. The typical religious response, claiming our miracles are from God and theirs are from the devil (or just fake), is intellectually unsatisfying and only fuels tribalism.In this episode Swami Revatikaanta challenges these positions through the Hindu lens by asking the questions, “What if God is truly universal? What if He responds to the sincere longing of a person's heart, rather than the theological accuracy of their institution?” He opposes the typical apologist response from Frank Turek and grounds Alex O'Connor's expectation of compassionate reciprocation from God in a Vedic framework. Drawing on the profound, macro-level vision of the Bhagavad Gita and the Rig Veda, Swami explores how Sanatana Dharma solves this dilemma without invalidating anyone's profound personal experiences.Connect with the Community:

Marcus Aurelius Anderson sits down with bestselling author and creative legend Steven Pressfield in Santa Monica for a wide-ranging conversation centered on Pressfield's new historical fiction novel, The Arcadian. The two explore the novel's ancient mercenary protagonist Telamon, the philosophy of resistance, the role of vulnerability in transformation, and what it means to keep doing the work — even after losing everything in a wildfire. Episode Highlights: 9:55 — The Magical Horse and the Hope of ReleasePressfield unpacks the inciting incident of The Arcadian — Telamon spotting a horse he recognizes from the year 70 AD bearing the brand of the 10th Roman Legion. The horse, appearing 1,400 years later, becomes a symbol of potential redemption and drives the entire story forward. 10:35 — Westerns, Vulnerable Characters, and Human TransformationPressfield reveals that The Arcadian is structurally a Western — like Unforgiven or Shane — and explains why the genre's conventions (a man of violence, a lawless landscape, a vulnerable character) are the perfect vehicle for stories about overcoming emotional isolation and finding humanity. 28:38 — Resistance, the LA Fires, and the Work That Saves You Pressfield opens up about losing his home in the 2025 LA wildfires, including a 40-year-old handwritten copy of the Empedocles quote. He reflects on how devotion to the work — and an acorn from Thermopylae returned by a Special Forces friend — helped hold him together. Steven Pressfield is one of the most influential American authors of the past three decades. Best known for The War of Art, Gates of Fire, and The Legend of Bagger Vance, Pressfield has built a body of work that spans historical fiction, nonfiction on creativity, and screenwriting. A former Marine and advertising copywriter, he spent years living in a Chevy van before finally breaking through as a writer. His concept of "Resistance" — the internal force that blocks creative work — has become a touchstone for artists, entrepreneurs, and warriors worldwide. His newest novel, The Arcadian, was released May 26, 2025. He publishes a weekly blog, Writing Wednesdays, at StevenPressfield.com.

Steven Pressfield spent 27 years writing before his first novel was published — enduring 21 jobs, living in 11 states, and at times out of his car. Finally, at age 52, Steve finally, what Joseph Campbell calls, “Seized the Sword”.Since then, he's written over 20+ books and sold millions of copies. His most famous works are: The War of Art, Turning Pro, Gates of Fire (Gates is on the US Marine Corps commandant's mandatory reading list), and he also wrote the 2000 Oscar-nominated film, The Legend of Bagger Vance. His newest book, The Arcadian, was just released May 26th.Steven comes on Men Talking Mindfulness to talk about the inner war every man is fighting — against Resistance, and the risks of actually Turning pro.IN THIS EPISODE:What Resistance is — and why it wants to kill you, not just stop youThe one question Steven asks at the end of every day — and why it changes everythingWhy warrior virtues and artist virtues are identicalThe Muse — what it is, where it comes from, and how to tune inAmateur vs. pro: the mindset shift that separates people who do from people who mean toThe authentic swing — Bagger Vance, the Bhagavad Gita, and your true callingRELATED EPISODES:Overcoming ProcrastinationThe Shadow Holds Your Power, Not Your Pain with Connor BeatonFinding Your PurposeCuriosity Is Key to Breaking Men Free from Judgment and RuminationPRE-ORDER THE ARCADIAN BOOK &FOLLOW STEVEN PRESSFIELD:stevenpressfield.comGET MORE FROM MTM:Text MTM to 33777 — free weekly newsletterSubscribe: mentalkingmindfulness.comA2A COURSE:Change is Possible, this is where it starts - 12 modules on attention, presence & performance.

Chapter 6, v. 1-4 Meditation begins long before we sit to practice. This episode explores how a steady, peaceful mind is cultivated through right action, self-discipline, and the release of ego-driven desires. Drawing from the opening teachings on meditation, we see how daily living and spiritual practice work together—quieting the mind and opening awareness to inner stillness, insight, and lasting freedom.
This talk is from an event sponsored by the Hindu Council of Australia in cooperation with the Australian School of Meditation and Yoga.The question was whether there is a distinction between Dharma and Sanatana Dharma? Acharya das explained that while Dharma has conventional definitions including customary religious observance, prescribed conduct, duty, religion, and good works, it has a deeper meaning as an intrinsic characteristic that makes something what it is - something that cannot be removed without changing the fundamental nature of that thing. He provided examples of heat and light being the dharma of fire, sweetness being the dharma of sugar, and liquidity being the dharma of water.Sanatana as meaning eternal, perpetual, permanent, everlasting, and primeval, distinguishing Sanatana Dharma from conventional religion by explaining that it deals with the eternal nature of the living being or spirit soul (atma). Acharya das distinguished Sanatana Dharma as dealing with the eternal nature of the living being or soul (atma), referencing Srila Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada's teachings that Sanatana Dharma refers to activities that cannot be changed and represents the eternal function of living entities in relationship with the Supreme Lord. The lecturer addressed the apparent contradiction in the Bhagavad Gita where Krishna instructs Arjuna to abandon all varieties of dharma and surrender unto Him, explaining that this refers to abandoning temporary religious duties to embrace one's eternal spiritual nature. Acharya das proposed that true self-realization requires understanding the three aspects of the self/soul: one's essence (being Brahman while maintaining distinction from Paramatma), one's position (equal to all living beings but subservient to the Supreme Being), and one's natural function (to love and to serve.) He concluded that bhakti - rendering eternal loving service to the Lord - is the natural function of the living being and the true definition of Sanatana Dharma. Quotes used in the talk:Abandon all varieties of religion and just surrender unto Me. I shall deliver you from all sinful reaction. Do not fear. - Bhagavad-gītā 18.66Pure love for Kṛṣṇa is eternally established in the hearts of the living entities. It is not something to be gained from another source. When the heart is purified by hearing and chanting, this love naturally awakens. - Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta, Madhya-līlā 22.107 By chanting the holy name of the Lord, one dissolves his entanglement in material activities. After this, one becomes very attracted to Krishna, and thus dormant love for Krishna is awakened. - Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta, Madhya-līlā 15.109 Chapters 00:00:00 Introduction to Dharma vs Sanatana Dharma 00:05:50 Deeper Understanding of Dharma 00:06:28 Srila Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada's Teachings on Sanatana Dharma 00:08:31 The Bhagavad Gita's Apparent Contradiction 00:12:17 Arjuna's Dilemma and Krishna's First Instruction 00:15:35 The Nature of the Eternal Soul 00:17:48 Varieties of Dharma in the Bhagavad Gita 00:22:06 The Temporary Nature of Vanashram Dharma 00:25:31 Self-Realization and the Three Essential Questions 00:29:46 The Position and Relationship of the Soul 00:31:09 The Natural Function and Characteristics of the Soul 00:35:10 Service as the Soul's Natural Expression 00:38:27 Bhakti as Sanatana Dharma 00:41:10 The Awakening of Dormant Love 00:43:22 Free Will and Universal Brotherhood 00:46:04 Conclusion and the Power of Chanting

SummaryClayton Cuteri joins Bruce Colero on the Be Great podcast for a wide-open, nearly two-hour conversation about the knowledge the elite have always guarded and why good people staying broke and powerless is no accident. It opens with how the Rothschilds quietly funded both sides of the Napoleonic Wars, walked away owning the bond market, and went on to shape the Federal Reserve and the IMF. From there, it moves into the two real levers of change on this planet: money and political power.The second half goes deep on the spiritual layer. The Bhagavad Gita and the divine versus demonic path. The Gospel of Thomas, found in 1945, is older than the Bible. How the text was changed over 1,600 years, and why Clayton believes a spiritual awakening is already underway. Clayton also shares his own arc from a software engineer, $10,000 in debt, to a millionaire in 22 months.Video of The PodcastWatch HereCampaign Websitehttps://writeincuteri.comClayton's NewsletterJoin HereClayton's BookPurchase HereClayton's Social Media LinkTree | Instagram | X (Twitter) | YouTube | FaceBook | RumbleTimecodes00:00 - Intro: How Rothschilds Funded Both Sides 01:15 - Defining Success and Your Why 05:09 - The Elites and Indigo Education 09:33 - Why Fear Comes From Not Knowing 16:49 - Knowledge Is Power: Money, Politics 22:17 - $10K Debt to Millionaire 33:58 - The Candle and the Blue Rug 42:10 - A Spiritual War, Not Political 01:05:02 - Books Are Speed Limit Signs01:22:34 - Who Really Wrote Your History01:36:20 - Is a Spiritual Awakening Coming?Intro/Outro Music Producer: Don Kin Instagram | Spotify Super grateful for this guy ^Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/traveling-to-consciousness-with-clayton-cuteri--6765271/support.Listen to the Podcast AD-FREE HERE for $4.95/monSign Up for my Newsletter HEREALL Indigo Education Podcasts HEREMy Book: The Secret Teachings of Jesus HEREOfficial Traveling to Consciousness Website HERE
I gave you this example the other day of a visceral experience I had because a member of our congregation—a mother, had lost her child who was six years old. He had suffered a heart attack and was not revivable. She came to take counsel and solace. She brought with her a little bag that had some money in it; it came from her child's piggy bank. He had been saving that money to do something for Kṛṣṇa, and she had brought it to us and handed it over and said, "Please, would you engage this for the benefit of my departed son, who was six years old? This is all he had, as far as money goes." When my wife and I took that into our possession, we considered it sacred. There was no conception that we would stop on the way home and buy a snow cone with it. The idea of enjoying the material world is equally as odious to a person who has understood reality—that everything belongs to Kṛṣṇa (bhoktāraṃ yajña-tapasāṃ). It's all meant to be engaged in His service. At the end of that third chapter of the Gītā, Arjuna asks, "How to overcome lust?" Kṛṣṇa ends the chapter by saying: evam buddhi-paraṃ buddhvā saṃstabhyātmānam ātmanā jahi śatruṃ mahā-bāho kāma-rūpaṃ durāsadam He says that you should fortify your intelligence. With your intelligence because he said there is a hierarchy: the senses are above the objects, the mind is above the senses, the intelligence is above the mind. So, how do you do that? The way you purify your intellect so you don't do stupid things is by reading the Bhagavad-gītā; that's what it's there for. Everyone ignores the Bhagavad-gītā, and they say, "Give me some rasa-tattva." Nothing against rasa-tattva ; we keep it above our heads, way up there. But the Bhagavad-gītā is where we live, and Kṛṣṇa answers all questions categorically. And then, if you want the nuance of the categories, then you read the whole Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam and Caitanya-caritāmṛta about 108 times—the whole, each one of them—and then you are dissuaded from touching anything in this material world unless you have the intention of offering it to Kṛṣṇa. kurvan nirantaraṁ karma loko 'yam anuvartate tenaiva karmaṇā dhyāyan māṁ parāṁ bhaktim icchati (BS 5.61) This is the whole idea Kṛṣṇa mentions in the five ślokas at the end of the Brahma-saṃhitā. This is the answer to your question Kṛṣṇa gives to Brahmā at the end of the Brahma-saṃhitā. He said everyone has to work; all living entities are engaged in work, can't stop it. Therefore, he said everything you do, you should do with the spirit of devotion to offer to Kṛṣṇa. ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://vaisesikadasayatra.blogspot.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://thefourquestionsbook.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 ------------------------------------------------------------ Join us live on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FanTheSpark/ Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-bhakti/id1132423868 For the latest videos, subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@FanTheSpark For the latest in SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fan-the-spark ------------------------------------------------------------

We will explore one of the most quoted verses from the Bhagavad Gita where Krishna tells Arjuna that your right is to the work only, never to its fruits. This episode examines the core of Karma Yoga — focusing on right action aligned with duty and values while releasing attachment to success or failure. We discuss why projecting future outcomes creates anxiety, how mental equanimity is lost through expectation, the importance of living fully in the present moment, and practical ways to perform your best work without staking happiness on uncontrollable results.Hope you enjoy and if you like my content, drop me a follow and find me on Instagram @stoicspirituality, Tiktok @stoicspirituality, and Youtube @stoicspiritualityFind my other podcast episodes and platforms here: https://rss.com/podcasts/stoicspirituality/If you would like one-on-one mindset coaching, schedule a sample session with me:https://calendly.com/stoicspiritualitylifecoaching/sample-session?month=2023-04

What will your final thought be? In Chapter 8 of the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna gives a surprising answer: your last thought isn't something you can control in the moment — it's the result of what you've practiced thinking about your entire life. So this chapter isn't really about death — It's about attention. In this episode, I explore:
Chapter Twelve Devotional Service TEXT 1: Arjuna inquired: Which are considered to be more perfect, those who are always properly engaged in Your devotional service or those who worship the impersonal Brahman, the unmanifested? TEXT 2: The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: Those who fix their minds on My personal form and are always engaged in worshiping Me with great and transcendental faith are considered by Me to be most perfect. TEXTS 3-4: But those who fully worship the unmanifested, that which lies beyond the perception of the senses, the all-pervading, inconceivable, unchanging, fixed and immovable – the impersonal conception of the Absolute Truth – by controlling the various senses and being equally disposed to everyone, such persons, engaged in the welfare of all, at last achieve Me. TEXT 5: For those whose minds are attached to the unmanifested, impersonal feature of the Supreme, advancement is very troublesome. To make progress in that discipline is always difficult for those who are embodied. TEXTS 6-7: But those who worship Me, giving up all their activities unto Me and being devoted to Me without deviation, engaged in devotional service and always meditating upon Me, having fixed their minds upon Me, O son of Pṛthā – for them I am the swift deliverer from the ocean of birth and death. TEXT 8: Just fix your mind upon Me, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and engage all your intelligence in Me. Thus you will live in Me always, without a doubt. TEXT 9: My dear Arjuna, O winner of wealth, if you cannot fix your mind upon Me without deviation, then follow the regulative principles of bhakti-yoga. In this way develop a desire to attain Me. TEXT 10: If you cannot practice the regulations of bhakti-yoga, then just try to work for Me, because by working for Me you will come to the perfect stage. TEXT 11: If, however, you are unable to work in this consciousness of Me, then try to act giving up all results of your work and try to be self-situated. TEXT 12: If you cannot take to this practice, then engage yourself in the cultivation of knowledge. Better than knowledge, however, is meditation, and better than meditation is renunciation of the fruits of action, for by such renunciation one can attain peace of mind. TEXTS 13-14: One who is not envious but is a kind friend to all living entities, who does not think himself a proprietor and is free from false ego, who is equal in both happiness and distress, who is tolerant, always satisfied, self-controlled, and engaged in devotional service with determination, his mind and intelligence fixed on Me – such a devotee of Mine is very dear to Me. TEXT 15: He by whom no one is put into difficulty and who is not disturbed by anyone, who is equipoised in happiness and distress, fear and anxiety, is very dear to Me. TEXT 16: My devotee who is not dependent on the ordinary course of activities, who is pure, expert, without cares, free from all pains, and not striving for some result, is very dear to Me. TEXT 17: One who neither rejoices nor grieves, who neither laments nor desires, and who renounces both auspicious and inauspicious things – such a devotee is very dear to Me. TEXTS 18-19: One who is equal to friends and enemies, who is equipoised in honor and dishonor, heat and cold, happiness and distress, fame and infamy, who is always free from contaminating association, always silent and satisfied with anything, who doesn't care for any residence, who is fixed in knowledge and who is engaged in devotional service – such a person is very dear to Me. TEXT 20: Those who follow this imperishable path of devotional service and who completely engage themselves with faith, making Me the supreme goal, are very, very dear to Me.

We're joined by Bhavesh Ratanpal. product leader, author, and long‑time practitioner of yoga philosophy, for a unique conversation about his book Product Ashtangi and how ancient Vedic wisdom can change the way we build products and lead teams.Bhavesh shares his journey from growing up in a family of priests in India, to a career in software development and product management at places like TD Bank, Citibank, and TELUS, and now to founding human‑centric AI startups in Canada. Along the way, he kept returning to one insight: a calm, clear mind makes better product decisions. Product Ashtangi is his attempt to codify that, combining the eight limbs of Ashtanga yoga with modern product practice.Join Matt and Moshe as they explore with Bhavesh:What “Product Ashtangi” means and why the first product you work on is yourselfHow the eight limbs of yoga (starting with Yama - truthfulness, ethics, ego‑awareness) translate into everyday product decisionsThe difference between building from ego and cosmetics vs. focusing on real user pain and social welfareHow to shift between observer and experiencer modes so you can see problems clearly instead of reacting emotionallyStories of applying these principles in practice, from enterprise migrations and platform decisions to Bhavesh's current AI products (pet adoption and strata governance)Treating your life like a product: personal sprints, self‑retros every two weeks, and continuously “shipping” a better version of yourselfHow karma yoga and product management align when you see products as vehicles for societal good, not just business metricsThe structure of the book:Part 1 – theory connecting yoga sutras, Bhagavad Gita, and product thinkingPart 2 – practical ways to adopt the eight limbs in your product workWhere to start if you're curious: books, practices, and small mindset shifts you can apply this weekAnd much more!Want to learn more or get the book?Website: http://bhaveshratanpal.caLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bhaveshratanpalYou can also connect with us and find more episodes:Product for Product Podcast: http://linkedin.com/company/product-for-product-podcastMatt Green: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mattgreenproduct/Moshe Mikanovsky: http://www.linkedin.com/in/mikanovskyNote: Any views mentioned in the podcast are the sole views of our hosts and guests, and do not represent the products mentioned in any way.Please leave us a review and feedback ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

In this episode, Chris sits down with James Beshara - founder of Magic Mind, angel investor in 150+ companies (Mercury, Alchemy, Gusto, Halo Top), and a Dallas native who built Tilt and sold it to Airbnb. James spent two years tinkering with Magic Mind before he ever called it a business. Today it's a $100M CPG brand and the #1 health shot in natural retail - run with 10 employees, no Slack, almost no meetings, and a founder-CEO split he calls the Palmer Lucky lane. He is also one of the more thoughtful voices on the question every operator eventually wrestles with: what to build, when to build it, and how to know whether you are actually wired for it. They discuss: - How Magic Mind got to $100M with 10 employees, no Slack, and almost no meetings - The Palmer Lucky lane - how to be a founder without being the CEO - Why scratching your own itch beats chasing big ideas on a notepad - His biggest miss as an angel investor - the OpenAI seed round, what one investor calculated as the equivalent of 30 Googles - Wave selection - why standing still is sometimes the highest-leverage move in business - The Bhagavad Gita and surrendering into a duty-bound existence - Apt - the new company he sat on for seven years before building it Timestamps: (04:30) Where Can You Be Most Uniquely Useful?

"If you've got one ounce of pride, you can't enter the hereafter." From the man who called himself the greatest, that statement lands differently. Ali understood something that took a lifetime to learn — that the gifts we're given are on loan, not owned. The strength, the beauty, the wit, the fame. None of it is ours. And the moment we claim it as ours, we cut ourselves off from the very source it came from. Raghunath and Kaustubha explore that teaching alongside one of the most tender moments in the Srimad Bhagavatam — where Krishna tells Indra directly: I stopped your sacrifice out of mercy. I wanted you to always remember me. The Bhagavad Gita makes the same point with striking precision — those absorbed in material opulence and sense enjoyment cannot attain samadhi, the focused clarity of mind needed to perceive the truth. One ounce of pride blocks the signal entirely. Do the inner work and salvation comes naturally. Reframe the crumble Srimad Bhagavatam 10.27.14-28 ******************************************************************** LOVE THE PODCAST? WE ARE COMMUNITY SUPPORTED AND WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO JOIN!
